Turmeric

Turmeric is a spice that comes from the turmeric plant. It is commonly used in Asian cuisine. You probably know that turmeric is the main spice of curry. It has a hot and bitter taste and is frequently used to flavor or color curry powders, mustards, butters and cheeses. But turmeric root is also widely used to make medicines. It contains a yellow chemical called curcumin, which is often used to color foods and cosmetics.

Turmeric is commonly used for conditions involving pain and inflammation, such as osteoarthritis. It is also used for hay fever, depression, high cholesterol, a type of liver disease and itching. Some people use turmeric for heartburn, thinking and memory, inflammatory bowel disease, stress, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
